<br>Thanks,<br>Lisa<br><br><br>Human Rights and Principles in Internet Governance: Practical Steps<br><br><br><br>Workshop 314<br><br>2009 Internet Governance Forum, Sharm El Sheikh<br><br>Sunday 15th November, 09.30, Room 5.<br>
<br><br><br>The ongoing evolution of the internet and associated networked communications has profound implications for human rights. New opportunities for fully realising our fundamental rights and freedoms have been unleashed by the development of new communication tools, platforms and practices. However, new challenges have also arisen, for example with the emergence of new forms of surveillance and censorship. There is an urgent need to develop strategies for protecting human rights in the internet age, whilst at the same time ensuring that internet governance fosters the continued development of an internet that supports their further realisation and expansion.<br>
<br><br><br>This workshop will examine practical strategies for incorporating human rights standards into internet governance processes and policies. Discussants will share their experiences of working on a wide range of initiatives that are helping to protect and expand human rights online, drawing out lessons learnt and emerging best practice. The focus will be on challenges and opportunities for multi-stakeholder cooperation to create enabling environments and tools for the protection and promotion of human rights in the internet age.<br>
<br><br><br>All stakeholders are invited to contribute to what promises to be an engaging and lively discussion. The workshop has been organised by Lisa Horner, Head of Research and Policy at Global Partners and Associates in the UK.
